President Donald J. Trump declared a national emergency to address threats to the United States bulk-power system, which supports national defense, critical infrastructure, and the economy. The order prohibits acquisitions of foreign-produced bulk-power system equipment deemed risky due to potential vulnerabilities, such as cyber threats or supply chain disruptions. The Secretary of Energy, in coordination with other agencies, must assess transactions involving equipment from foreign entities and impose conditions to secure systems. Measures include identifying and replacing vulnerable equipment, promoting domestic manufacturing, and establishing pre-qualified vendors. The order also mandates federal procurement policies prioritizing U.S.-made energy infrastructure and requires regular reporting to Congress. The emergency aims to mitigate risks from foreign actors exploiting weaknesses in the power grid.
